In the morning
wet with dew
Wings of lace
doth light accrue.
Lens and cell
do of't reflect
The world minute
for to all inspect.
The eye of fire
fine red and gold
Chrysopa, small,
though regally bold.
Natural History, Natural Philosophy, Science
About Me
- Chrysopa
- Romeo, Michigan, United States
- Welcome to Fire Eye, a blog concerning Science, Philosophy, and the Natural world. Chrysopa is a pen name for me, Mike Jones. I have been using this pen name for various things since I came up with it in 1995. I am a Biologist and Writer originally from the New Jersey Shore. I now reside with my family in Romeo, Michigan. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in April 1997 with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Psychology. My intrests have always revoloved around the natural world, especially zoology and botany. Insects and birds hold a particular fasination for me, but everything from protozoans to hominids is fair game. I am also very interested in history and ancient civilizations. I hope you enjoy this blog. By the way, Chrysopa is the genus for a group of insects called lacewings. It means Fire Eye.
